Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cups zucchini, spiralized
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by prepping your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp if needed and set them aside. Mince the garlic, and chop the parsley. Spiralize the zucchini or buy pre-spiralized zoodles for convenience.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the olive oil until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp onto a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Let the mixture reduce for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.

Step 7

Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet, tossing it to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are just tender but still firm (al dente).

Step 8

Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the zoodles and sauce. Cook for an additional minute to warm the shrimp back up.

Step 9

Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Shrimp Scampi.
